They have also given him numerous chances to secure a postseason roster spot. Yet, every succeeding start has been worse than the previous than the previous one. The right-hander shows a penchant for giving up hard contact and the home run ball.<\/p>\n<h3>Troublesome Stats<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-24\">\n<div id=\"lwos_incontent_1\" align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x250\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/15184186,22512265771\/lwos_incontent_1_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>This lack of command is illustrated in Miller\u2019s ERA of 8.52. It is the highest ERA of 1,156 pitchers who have thrown at least 56 innings for the Dodgers. To make matters worse, the number of walks is also high at 30.<\/p>\n<h3>What Happened?<\/h3>\n<p>According to those around the game, the young hurler has all the tools to be successful, and last year seemed to bear it out. In 2023, Miller had an ERA of 3.76 and seemed to show the promise of a future ace. However, he went on the injured list in July with a\u00a0shoulder problem, and it appears that he is battling a knee issue as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Open Roster Spots<\/h3>\n<p>Reliever\u00a0Joe Kelly\u00a0has been activated off the IL and will take Miller\u2019s roster spot. Kelly has been dealing with a\u00a0shoulder issue\u00a0off and on this year. The Dodgers are hoping that the hard throwing reliever will be able to control his nasty repertoire just in time for the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Grove\u00a0was also optioned in favor of\u00a0recently signed\u00a0Zach Logue.<\/p>\n<h3>Miller\u2019s Future<\/h3>\n<p>As for Miller, the right-hander may still have a bright future with the Dodgers, but starting in 2025. Right now, it is abundantly clear that he can\u2019t be trusted on a postseason mound, even if the Dodgers are desperate for arms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Struggling starter\u00a0Bobby Miller\u00a0no longer has a locker in the Los Angeles Dodgers\u2019 clubhouse,\u00a0according to Jack Harris\u00a0of the Los Angeles Times.
